Answer 1

The correct option is C Brahmins used to give the land for cultivation to middlemen called Ooralars.

Ooralars were the owners of Devaswam. Naduvazhis, Brahmins, and Ooralars gave land for cultivation to middlemen called Karalars. The kings, the Brahmins, and the Ooralar did not cultivate this land directly.
